Funky, Simple, Handmade: that's the slogan for Mountain Aven Baby, a clothing store on Etsy. We’ve written about Mountain Aven Baby a number of times, but since a year has gone by since the last post I thought I would remind everyone of their adorable, handmade lounge sets. I love the above lounge...

Threadless is having a big sale starting Monday, August 25. All t-shirts are $12 and prints are $25. We've written about Threadless before and if you haven't checked it out yet, now's the time. It's a great place to find unique t-shirts that don't cost a lot. Almost all the t-shirts...

I have a fantasy. No, no, get your mind out of the gutter, not THAT kind of fantasy. This is a simple, quaint and family friendly fantasy. I dream of riding a Big Wheel again. Some of my fondest childhood moments were of tooling around the neighborhood on my plastic behemoth. I loved it so. I have yet...

They spotted me before I spotted them. I was wheeling my 13 month-old around the Children’s Club Expo and she was wearing her hot pink Robeez with daisies. These are the only shoes she wears when we’re out all day because she can’t take them off. A woman at the Robeez booth pointed to her shoes and I...

Baby shower gifts are kind of a pain to shop for. My favorite thing to give is a t-shirt or onesie that no one has seen before, which is (I'm pretty sure) one of the reasons they created the Internet. Baby Nation is an online kids t-shirt shop run by two dads with some great shirts. My favorite are...

When did Boon (the modern makers of the bath toy frog organizer and all that orange and white feeding gear) start making layette? Well, as of Spring 2008 they do and, of course, their layette is very well designed. Check out Boon's onesies, rompers, pj's, pants, and sleep hats. Made from 100...

Nine Moons has created SwellyBelly, a maternity belly band that coordinates with your outfit. Designed to let you wear your pre-pregnancy shirts (or maternity shirts that no longer fit) through pregnancy, the belly band covers your belly and matches your shirt. SwellyBellies are also useful for nursing...

My two year old is pretty damn smart. She knows a bit of Spanish, can count to ten and can tell the difference between a donkey and an elephant. With this skill set, she’s ready for anything, even the oval office. If the last eight years have proved anything, it’s that you don’t have to be a Mensa club...

If you know someone with a brand new baby then take a look at New For Baby. They call themselves “the hip baby’s first wardrobe”. Their logo is a baby's face drawn simply as a circle with blue eyes and a curly lock of hair. Adorable! The New For Baby collection includes short and long sleeved onesies...
